My Chances/Matches (CA CC Transfer)

Transfer Students
1

<p>I've been prowling around this board for a while, reading about transfer stats, chances, etc for a while now. My situation is this:</p>

<p>I graduated high school in 2004 and decided to attend to USF (University of San Francisco) out of HS. Due to combined parental marital /financial problems and my overall lackluster impression of USF, i left in the middle of Spring semester 2005. I then moved home, and started at DeAnza Community College. Now, i'm entering my second quarter at DeAnza. Essentially, i have 1 semester of work from USF (none of which, i think, will be transferrable as it's all upper division and masters level) and 2 quarters from DeAnza. </p>

<p>My Stats Are:
HS GPA (weighted): 3.15 (heavy AP/Honors courseload, student body president, etc, etc)
SAT: 1290
USF GPA: 3.75
DeAnza GPA: 3.8
EC's (current): environmental education internship, 5,000+ hours of community service, free tutoring (low income/no income children).</p>

<p>I MUST GET OUT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Thus, i'm applying to all these schools as a transfer for Spring 2006.</p>

<p>I'm thinking i'll throw an application at the following schools (some are way out of reach, i bet):
Santa Clara University
Pepperdine
Occidental
Scripps
Claremont McKenna
Cornell
Loyola Marymount </p>

<p>oh and p.s. -- i'm sortof eccentric, and usually convey that in my statements and interviews. i wrote my main admissions essay, in high school, about The Beatles. I'm creative and a semi-accomplished artist (have sold work, could show a portfolio, but i'm sure they have better things to do). </p>

<p>any feedback is appreciated.</p>

<p>3.8 is a good gpa! you have good chances IMHO!</p>

<p>also, you should definetly consider the UCs, even if its only Berk and UCLA.</p>

3

<p>i can't apply to UC's for Spring 06' admission, as i haven't complete IGETC. I also have about 45 units to transfer, not the require 90.</p>

<p>unless you know anything about working around those restrictions....</p>

<p>i know two people who have transfered after one year from UCSD to UCLA w/ out IGETC... Obviously they didn't get 90 quarter units, they used their AP credits to fill that requirements,</p>

<p>Since u say u took AP in HS, u should have some... </p>

<p>BTW what;s ur major?</p>

<p>history.</p>

<p>and i'd like to pick up a double major in Environmental Studies.</p>

<p>UC to UC or 4 Year to UC transfers don't require IGETC. i dont think.</p>
